Staff in our hospitals and clinics are already up against it. They are working long hours in often extremely stressful environments. If they are not providing urgent care and attention to patients in their time of need, they are performing the countless other tasks required to keep our hospitals open.
And all at a time when demand has never been higher for their services. Coronavirus was an unbearable load to place on the back of our NHS when it was already struggling to stand upright.
Yet the health service did not collapse, thanks to collective efforts of staff. So it’s simply unfathomable to hear of the extent of abuse that NHS workers face doing their jobs.
